Astonishing indeed. It's an ideal example for a movie determined to be so pathetically poor, that tried its best to be unattractive. It even lacks its own goods, stars, and possible potential!
The script is close to a joke. First, its main elements seem like a second-rate combination of previous movies: (Die Hard - 1988), (The Bodyguard - 1992), (Under Siege - 1992), and surely (Titanic - 1997); as a cocktail of the previous decade's big hits (sour cocktail if you asked me!). Moreover, its bold dealing with making an action without any action!
Then larger jokes: Dylan Walsh is the best of who you can get for a C-grade B-movie like this, however his role was totally empty. Erika Eleniak reprises her role in (Under Siege) knowing that she didn't have much of a role in (Under Siege) in the first place! Claudia Christian didn't give the character anything utterly; meanness, vehemence, whatever!
The only one that remained to star was Ice-T. Why this guy never won any Razzie award? I think because the Razzie deals with stars that got hope to be better, not these helpless hopeless cases! Regardless of that, Ice-T was really the one who delivered something anyway: the speech of threatening in rhyme while his intro, like his original specialty; the rap singing. I think that was the only thing that entertained me here. It could be the reason why they put his face on the poster bigger than everyone, as he looks commercially the most successful one in the bunch even if the movie lacks him badly, and his role was near to a cameo!
The direction.. Well.. Some things are better being left alone! However, I can't curb one HUGE piece of my mind about the shoddy ending which pirated, overtly and outrageously, one of the CGI's memorable shots of (Titanic) where the voluminous back fan of the ship raises high right before the complete sinking! It's more than obvious when the happening, here, takes place in daylight, and the stolen shot took place, as its original movie, in the dark of the night??!! Feel the disgraceful irony! Maybe director Jim Wynorski was paying a little homage to his ideal Ed Wood!
How they got the nerve to show us such an opening credits as promising as this? What a fraud! Also strange that I didn't find the term "TV" or "V" or even "VG" beside its title on the IMDb?!! The sole thing that I found was different versions of it (Brazil:91 min, Germany:88 min, Argentina:93, etc..) why to torture these people with it in the first place?! And the ultimate bonus joke: This movie was "Rated R for violence"?!!!!!
I'm trying to connect between the name of this great production company (Final V Films), and the name of its movie (Final Voyage)!! Is it a way to present movies by the name Final "V", whatever the word may be, on every production of it?! Based on this, please re-release this movie under the name of (The Final Vacuum); it's more expressing, and I hope that this would be its Final stand!
As a Die Hard kind of follow-up, it's Die Easy. And now excuse me; I'll leave the computer to cry a bit because of what I paid in renting this!
